Celebrating HBCU Grads Teaching in America's Classrooms
Since their inception in 1837 (Cheyney University of Pennsylvania), HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) have vitally shaped Black leaders, educators, and innovators. These institutions are more than schools—they are beacons of resilience, culture, and community, fostering environments where students can thrive academically and personally. Today, HBCUs continue to play a pivotal role in opportunity gaps in education, promoting racial equity, and advancing social justice by nurturing students in an environment that champions diversity, community, and a shared history of resilience. Together, let's uplift HBCU Alumni educators.

“At Howard, there was a group for every interest, every individual. We were young, black and gifted, and we were not the exception but the rule - thousands of us.”

SVP Marketing, Howard University
“I truly came into myself during my four years at Morehouse. Never before had there been a school environment where I felt more empowered, appreciated, or seen. So much of my success today is the result of being immersed in that environment for four years at a critical time in my life, and I would do it again 100 times.”
Geoff Hill
CFO, Morehouse College
Research shows that HBCU alumni are of the nation’s most engaged teachers, replicating the affirming K-12 classroom environments that nurtured them at their beloved HBCU.

“This study reveals that HBCU graduates, specifically Black male graduates, are replicating in the classroom the caring and nurturing environment they experienced while attending an HBCU that has been so affirming to them and countless research studies show the positive effects Black teachers have on the development of their students.”
